"Back to routine - a routine of incendiary balloons and explosions," MK Haim Yellin (Yesh Atid), said.
As the security cabinet announced that the IDF will remove the security
restrictions on Thursdays, Gaza border communities are preparing to
return to "routine."

"Back to routine - a routine of incendiary balloons and explosions," MK
Haim Yellin (Yesh Atid), former head of the Eshkol Regional Council said
in response to the security cabinet's decision. "A routine of war next
to the (Southern) border, a routine that the Gaza Strip is not part of
the state of Israel. The Gaza Strip is the playground of Hamas and the
Cabinet."Gadi Yarkoni, the current head of the Eshkol Regional Council
responded with less dismay towards the decision on Army Radio, "A
military operation is definitely the last resort," he said.

However, Yarkoni said the communities were ready for anything. "If we
find ourselves in the same situation as in the last six months, we need
to act." he said. "The people here are ready."
